We started confused
Blank, Pained and Unsure
We have our own excuse
To Live, To Ask, To Love
On that Bell Tower ledge we met; Same thoughts...
To Fall, To End, To Let go
I dragged you away
Showed you the real way
Helped you come back again
And Kept you from pain
We wandered all the Bright Places
The Mountains...
The Churches...
The River...
The Lake...
Even the Blue Hole where we date
As time passes by I healed you from sore
And my Feelings grew more
So as the pain, the ache
And the uncertainties we break
We both fell from with in
And you tried to keep me out of the pain
Yet It was as heavy as sin
That I can't bear to feel
You held on
But I let go
You did not know
That I ended so
I know It'll cause you Pain
And I may never be seen
But my heart, my soul and my memory of you
Will forever be and always be
with you.
You are brave, please believe...
This is inspired by the book 'All The Bright Places' by Jennifer Niven. I consider it as my all time favorite book. The story is painful, lovely and real. A-must-read book.
This poem is based on Finch's Point of View (Finch is the lead male character of the story)
